About Me

I live in the Bay Area and have a 9-5 'real' job in San Francisco. My dream job would be to be a caterer but I favor baking over cooking. My passion is finding a new recipe, making it, then either dumping it in the garbage or letting the world know what an awesome 'find' I've got! I read a cookbook like a novel and also thrive on cooking magazines. So enjoy reading my findings as I cook in an apron one recipe at a time!
